Man, I always love what Joseph at Ahearne Cycles is cooking up. While this fillet brazed 650b mountain bike may be a few years old, it’s the exact setup that I’m looking into for my next project. I’ll likely go singlespeed; but a rigid steel 65ob is something I’d love to add to the stable. Make sure to get a closer look at this beauty below, there are some killer details.

John and Adam may have already beat me to it, but this Stainless Steel Touring bike by Ahearne Cycles is absolutely fantastic. I’ve always admired Joseph’s work and especially his attention to detail; this bike is a perfect example of how little things can really set a bicycle apart (i.e. that spork!). Check out a grip of photos over on the Ahearne Cycles Flickr and be sure to have a look at the other bikes I’ve featured from Ahearne!

I’ve always enjoyed the work of Joseph Ahearne, especially when I see bicycles like this one. This commuter bike is dressed to the nines and capable of crushing your daily commute, and then some.

Built using stainless steel lugs, a stainless split plate fork crown, and a bi-laminate stem lug, this bike’s got beauty for days. It’s also ready for anything. A Rohloff will help you ascend even the largest hill in town while carrying a load up front on the chrome porteur rack. Also, check out the custom etched chain guard and striped fenders…I told you this bike’s got style. More photos here.

This beautiful stainless steel road bike by Ahearne Cycles belongs to a very lucky man named Emre. The geometry is slightly more relaxed than a traditional race bike and outfitted for longer rides with a custom rear rack and fenders. The rear rack is one of my many favorite details of this bike, it will also soon be hanging some custom panniers by Philosophy Bags. Another neat detail is the Pacenti Artisan lug set Joseph used for the build. These lugs are no longer being produced so he’s been holding out for the perfect bike to use them on, and what a beauty they’ve helped construct. I can only imagine how long this thing took to polish…

Thing Ahearne 26″ Touring Bike is really getting me excited to get some proper racks & fenders for my own touring rig. This Ahearne is gorgeous; and features a fillet brazed frame and superb components (and is currently for sale). The custom low rider racks are just as impressive and built to fit the front-roller Ortlieb panniers.

Joseph Ahearne of Ahearne Cycles built this amazing fat bike for the 2012 NAHBS and he recently took it on a ride down the Oregon coast. I gotta agree with him too, fat bikes scream versatility. What other bike is as capable of trekking such deep sand or snow? And loaded for that matter. Fat bikes are made to take you where other bikes simply cannot.

This year’s 2012 NAHBS brought a record number of builders and of course, countless stunning bicycles of both form and function. One bike that caught my eye early on with a preview was builder Joseph Ahearne’s custom Fat Bike, fully equipped for the long haul with two custom-made Ahearne flasks. Those specially-fabricated fenders are amazing too…that’s accessory the fat bike category really lacking (cough cough Hunt and Dan).

Make sure to get a better look at this rig below and see some other great work from Ahearne Cycles here.
